Syslog.conf configuration

A

adripillo

Hi, I have updated from FreeBSD 9.1-rc3 to FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE and I have a problem with syslog.con when computer starts it says

Code: 
syslogd: unknown priority name ""

Now that I have the kde back I could check in Internet more and it seems to be some "spaces" problems, it says I need to replace spaces for tabs, so I only found 1 spaces and already remplaced for a tab but when computer restart still giving that message.
Any idea of what else could be?. Thanks in advance.
 
Didn't I see another post where you also mentioned some of the merging failed? Take a closer look at /etc/syslog.conf. Look for ">>>>>>>>" and "<<<<<<<<". Those entries failed to merge properly and need to be reviewed by hand.

I have that ">>>>>>>>" and "<<<<<<<<", so you say that I need to delete and write them again?
 
Post the file and I'll tell you what to remove, it's a bit hard to explain ;)

This is the 'old' data that needs to be removed.

This bit is the 'new' data. After you have removed the previous 'old' lines simply remove that ">>>>>>" line and save the file.
